'I wanna throw weights around not F'king do Yoga'

Not my wife, but indicative of her game face.

I love my wife.  She is reserved and thoughtful and not really into endorphin rush workouts, but recently she injured her lower back doing deadlifts and has been taking it easy with PT at home. Tonight, after a particularly brutal day in the office, I asked how she was feeling and she responded, 'I wanna throw weights around not F'kng do Yoga.' Enough said- You are awesome honey bun.  Sometimes when you need to blow off steam, slow and quiet just doesn't cut it. When stress breeds frustration- there is nothing like a quality session sweating under the bar or a good tough run to go beyond the wall of cathartic cleansing into the relam of sublime existence.

Today's WOD was another cardio heavy quad burner:

EMOM x 7min complete 9 HSPU

-Rest 3 minutes-

4 Rounds for total reps of:

30 sec ME Split Jumps

30 sec ME Double Unders

30 sec ME Split Jumps

90 sec Rest

The HSPU's felt good, I got through almost the first set strict, then was kipping like a Mad Mantis shrimp to keep going. By the last 2 rounds I was scaled back to newborn level in the pike position on the box. Humbling. I cannot lift crazy amounts of weight, but the one thing I can do well and very fast is jump rope.  For the rest of the workout I was on fire-Split jumps were strong on the first set of each round. My DU's were almost completely unbroken and the second set of Split jumps felt like I was dousing my quads w/ lit kerosene. In the end I counted 401 reps. Most of that DU's.

I tried a couple more bar MU's to no avail, but I am so damn close. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Meg commented-'you are there- its all in your head now.' Dammit- then get the hell out so I can do these things! Cant wait for CFE tomorrow! Warm weather and running outside!!!
